SCO vs Linux continued. Post Reply with Quote Edit/Delete Post Report Post to a Moderator       IP Information

I was kinda surprised that this had not been posted here yet but the battle SCO is fighting against Linux has taken a new turn.
In fact they are gonna start charging people using Linux.
Read more about it HERE.
More interesting material can be found on the news dot com special coverage

What the heck are they suing Linux for???

If its only the kernel version 2.4 and 2.5 then we could just use 2.2 and 2.3 and rewrite the parts that SCO believes was taken from their UNIX kernel.

Why are they trying to take away the only free operating system that exists??

Just because their sales went back doesn't mean they have to start suing Linux for it.



The worst enemy on the battlefield is an officer with a map.

I think all software developers should do what Fyodor (the dude that wrote nmap) allready did.
quote:
SCO operating systems are no longer supported due to their recent
(and absurd) attacks against Linux and IBM. Bug reports relating to
UnixWare will be ignored, or possibly even laughed at derisively.
Note that I have no reason to believe anyone has ever used Nmap on
SCO systems. Unixware and OpenServer suck.


Furthermore I think SCO is looking for publicity (wether good or bad).
I am keeping an eye on it for sure.
SCO [insert random insult's here]

SCO is behaving like Microsoft.
